Romans 14
1 Now him that is weak in the faith receive, not to [the] determining of questions of reasoning.
Him that is weak in his faith receive with kindness, and not to pass judgment on his thoughts.
2 One man is assured that he may eat all things; but the weak eats herbs.
One man hath faith to eat every kind of food; another, who is weak, eateth herbs only.
3 Let not him that eats make little of him that eats not; and let not him that eats not judge him that eats: for God has received him.
Let not him who eateth, despise him that eateth not; and let not him who eateth not, judge him that eateth; for God hath received him.
4 Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? to his own master he stands or falls. And he shall be made to stand; for the Lord is able to make him stand.
Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? To his own lord he standeth or falleth; and he shall be made to stand; for the Lord is able to make him stand.
5 One man esteems day more than day; another esteems every day [alike]. Let each be fully persuaded in his own mind.
One man esteemeth one day above another; another esteemeth every day alike: let each one be fully persuaded in his own mind. He that regardeth the day, regardeth it to the Lord;
6 He that regards the day, regards it to [the] Lord. And he that eats, eats to [the] Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he that does not eat, [it is] to [the] Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks.
and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. And he that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth thanks to God; and he that doth not eat, to the Lord he doth not eat, and giveth thanks to God.
7 For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.
For none of us liveth to himself, and no one dieth to himself.
8 For both if we should live, [it is] to the Lord we live; and if we should die, [it is] to the Lord we die: both if we should live then, and if we should die, we are the Lord's.
For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Whether then we live or die, we are the Lord's.
9 For to this [end] Christ has died and lived [again], that he might rule over both dead and living.
For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and the living.
10 But thou, why judgest thou thy brother? or again, thou, why dost thou make little of thy brother? for we shall all be placed before the judgment-seat of God.
But thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? And thou, too, why dost thou despise thy brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of God.
11 For it is written, I live, saith [the] Lord, that to me shall bow every knee, and every tongue shall confess to God.
For it is written, “As I live, saith the Lord, to me every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall give praise to God.”
12 So then each of us shall give an account concerning himself to God.
So then every one of us will give account of himself to God.
13 Let us no longer therefore judge one another; but judge ye this rather, not to put a stumbling-block or a fall-trap before his brother.
Let us then no longer judge one another; but let this rather be your judgment, not to put a stumbling-block, or an occasion to fall, in a brother's way.
14 I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself; except to him who reckons anything to be unclean, to that man [it is] unclean.
I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself; but to him that accounteth anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
15 For if on account of meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no longer according to love. Destroy not him with thy meat for whom Christ has died.
For if on account of food thy brother is made to mourn, thou art no longer walking according to love. Do not with thy food destroy him for whom Christ died.
16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of;
Let not then the blessing which ye enjoy be evil spoken of.
17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in [the] Holy Spirit.
For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit;
18 For he that in this serves the Christ [is] acceptable to God and approved of men.
for he who in this matter serveth Christ is well-pleasing to God, and approved by men.
19 So then let us pursue the things which tend to peace, and things whereby one shall build up another.
Let us then strive to promote peace, and the edification of each other.
20 For the sake of meat do not destroy the work of God. All things indeed [are] pure; but [it is] evil to that man who eats while stumbling [in doing so].
Do not for the sake of food undo the work of God. All things indeed are clean; but that which is pure is evil for that man who eateth so as to be an occasion of sin.
21 [It is] right not to eat meat, nor drink wine, nor [do anything] in which thy brother stumbles, or is offended, or is weak.
It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to do anything whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is put in danger of falling, or is made weak.
22 Hast thou faith? have [it] to thyself before God. Blessed [is] he who does not judge himself in what he allows.
Thou hast faith; have it to thyself before God. Happy is he who doth not condemn himself in that which he alloweth.
23 But he that doubts, if he eat, is condemned; because [it is] not of faith; but whatever [is] not of faith is sin.
But he that doubteth is condemned if he eat, because he doeth it not from faith; but every thing which is not from faith is sin.
